We propose ReHome — a tool for circular post-disaster waste management and housing supply chains. ReHome will unlock opportunities for reusing and repurposing post-disaster waste, transforming it into an immediate inventory of materials and untapped resources for rebuilding properties. Through a six-stage process, ReHome will streamline the screening, mapping, rating, testing, and certifying of post-disaster waste for potential reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and repurposing applications in rebuilding efforts. This process will foster a swift, cost-efficient, and environmentally low-impact approach to post-disaster waste management, housing reconstruction, and community recovery.
